Chapter 58: Ascensions of Power – Andarta's Class and Belenus' Ex-Class
Narration – Belenus
It was no longer just about strength.
Not about fire, gravity, cosmos, or even time.
What I felt surging in me now… was something else. Something uncoded, raw, and undefined by even the deepest systems of class evolution that shaped this world over the last sixty years.
The time had come—Andarta and I stood on the precipice of something no Interface had ever predicted.
This was not a class update.
This was class defiance.
The Rift had left more than a wound in the fabric of reality—it had awakened a truth inside our souls. A path that led neither forward nor backward, but outward—into all that we had been, and all we would become.

Andarta's Class: Multiversal Conduit
Class: Multiversal Conduit
Tier: EX+
Designation: Living Interface of Infinity

Andarta had always felt like she belonged between things—between timelines, between planes of existence, between fate and freedom. But after absorbing the pure pulse of Riftfire during the climax of the Battle for the Rifted Epoch, she became the current.
The class wasn't chosen. It chose her—and in doing so, made her more than alive. She was now a threadweaver of destinies, a node through which infinite multiverses converged.
She could speak to echoes of herself in other timelines, blend realities together, and mold localized dimensions like a sculptor molds clay. And with it came the terrifying weight of holding every possibility at once.

As for me… there was no name.
When the system tried to register it, it glitched. Symbols flooded the screen. The class interface twitched—like it was looking at something it was never meant to quantify.
Even Andarta's gaze faltered as she turned toward me.
Not out of fear.
But recognition.
> "You've become something... that doesn't belong to any story," she whispered.
The class had no name, because I had become something that existed before names were forged—something interwoven with the first law of creation, from which even the Titans and Primordials drew breath.
It wasn't the Cosmic Sovereign of the Primordial Flame anymore. That was a skin I had outgrown.
Now, I was the source from which that title once emerged.

🔹 Class Traits: Unlocked (0.1%)
Fractal Essence Loop – My soul now existed across all possible realities. I could die in one and keep moving in another. A fragmented immortality, where every decision created power, not divergence.
Law Unbinding – I could ignore class caps, ignore multiversal rules, ignore the distinction between concept and matter. I no longer used power—I defined it in real time.
System Override Pulse – Every dungeon core now registered me as a root user. I could rewrite dungeon laws, delete monster spawn logic, upgrade allies mid-battle, or deny enemy skills by sheer existence.
Class Echo Expansion (Locked) – My class wasn't singular. It was a seed of dozens—each one waiting to evolve depending on my future choices. Fire, storm, void, soul, story, flame, creation… all connected.
---
Cons – If They Could Be Called That
Incomprehensible Self – My presence disrupted logic-based systems. Even allies' interfaces flickered when I got too close. Some beings couldn't perceive me directly—they either bowed, broke, or forgot.
Time Anchor Cascade – My class resisted being placed in a timeline. I began creating chronospasms—temporal echoes and overlaps. Sometimes I'd meet versions of myself from outcomes I hadn't yet reached.
Emotional Dissociation – The more my class unlocked, the more I felt distant from the memory of being human. My love for Lunadora, my bond with Solnaria, my promise to protect Kaela and Nyssara—it remained, but it felt like echoes spoken through eternity, rather than felt with flesh.

Narration – Belenus
Even now, the system continues to evolve around me, not the other way around.
No titles.
No announcements.
Just the hum of power that the universe itself did not dare to name.
I had become an anomaly, an equation that refused to resolve. A living paradox, forged from a wish I barely understood, sixty years ago, in a dungeon born from desperation and flame.
Now?
I was the dungeon.
I was the Rift.
And my class—whatever it truly was—was only just beginning.
> "Status," I whispered.
[UNREADABLE.]
[Progress: 0.1%. Unlock condition not yet known.]
But that was enough.
I didn't need a name for it.
The world would name me after I remade it.
It was no longer about strength.
Not about fire, or form, or finality.
There was no classification for what I had become—because I had touched something older than categories, deeper than divinity, and broader than the Rift itself.
It started as a flicker. Then a pulse. Then a seismic shudder through the lattice of worlds.

Scene – The Pulse That Woke the Stars
The moment my class initialized—even just 0.1%—the multiverse convulsed.
Across the Hollow Earth, the sky rippled as if glass had been struck.
High above in the Ashen Nexus, clouds twisted into glyphs no one could read.
In distant timelines, beings of conceptual power paused mid-battle and looked up, sensing a ripple they couldn't explain.
Aboard the Worldship Chronaxis, a silence fell across the stellar legion's command deck.
> "What was that?" one of the Chrono-Tacticians asked, clutching his head.
"Something… just declared itself," murmured another. "But it had no voice."
Even the Zenōs, those playful arbiters of fate, momentarily lost their smiles.
> "He's awake," whispered Zenō Torrel. "The Unnamed Class. The Forbidden Loop."
---
Scene – Andarta's Dreaded Wonder
Andarta, who had once danced freely between parallel selves and timelines, stood frozen.
She stared at me—not with fear—but with a kind of reverence she never showed anyone. Her lips parted, struggling to form words even as symbols lit across her vision, trying and failing to define what I had become.
> "I see... echoes of your soul fracturing backward and forward," she murmured. "Like you're already walking the next thousand years in every direction."
My presence distorted the geometry of the space around me. Not visually. But in meaning. The air refused to settle. The light bent wrong.
> "Belenus…" she said, stepping closer, eyes wide. "Your class doesn't belong in this reality anymore."
> "It's never been here before," I said simply. "But it's always been waiting."
---
Scene – System Lock Override
I attempted to pull my own status menu.
The interface spasmed, white noise crashing through my mind.
> [ERROR: UNKNOWN CLASS ID]
[WARNING: FRACTAL ESSENCE UNRESOLVED]
[STATUS UNLOCKED: 0.1% – FORM LIMITER INCOMPLETE]
[DO NOT PROCEED]
[—Proceeding—]
My hand twitched. Not from pain—
From containment.
> "It's fighting you," Andarta said.
"No," I replied, "It's protecting the system from me."
---
Scene – The Reaction of Titans and Realms
In the Hollow Earth, Rodan screeched once, then plummeted from the sky mid-flight—his wings folded in surrender.
Deep in the magma chambers, Amaterasu-Gojira rose to her feet and roared skyward, her dorsal plates flashing black and crimson. She felt the bond between us ignite again, as if time itself had reversed to relink us.
> "He has returned," she said in ancient tongue.
"The Alpha before the first dawn."
In the ocean depths, Kaiju not seen in millennia began to stir.
Dormant Titans, long sealed by the Pact of Embers, began awakening prematurely, drawn not by threat—but by recognition.
> "The one who dreamed us into being… dreams again," whispered Behemoth, rising from moss-covered slumber.
---
Scene – The Interface Adapts
Andarta's eyes glowed as she hovered a hand over my chest. Her connection to the system let her see what others could not.
> "Your class isn't fixed," she whispered. "It's... building itself from your decisions. Your emotions. Your past."
She paused.
> "It's a narrative engine. Your story is your class."
That made me go still.
Because deep inside, something stirred. Not a skill. Not a stat.
A question pulsed from the system itself:
> ◇ Will You Anchor?
□ Will You Collapse?
○ Will You Ascend?
Response Pending.
I didn't respond.
I didn't need to.
The symbols rearranged themselves.
> [Progression Rate: Variable]
[Awaiting Reality Signature: ◇□○]
[Next Unlock Threshold: 1.0%]
Andarta stepped back.
> "You're not leveling up. You're rewriting what it means to have levels."

Scene – A Moment of Solitude
I turned away from her.
And I looked at the Crucible—the First Dungeon. My wish had made it. And now I had become the reflection of its will.
I could feel it trying to adapt, its rooms reshaping in real-time just to house the conceptual force I now radiated.
> "You're going to change everything again," Andarta said quietly behind me.
"That's not the plan," I replied.
"It never is," she whispered.
The wind shifted. Not naturally—dimensional currents bending inward, drawn to me like moths to an unnamed fire.
Andarta bowed her head for the first time.
> "What do we call you now, Belenus?"
I looked down at my palm.
The flame still burned.
But it no longer whispered of destruction.
It whispered of becoming.
> "Nothing yet," I said.
> "Let the multiverse decide."
